[Canonblade - Never Give Up (Dustified Remix)]

Terrible. “Melodies are very nice” isn’t an excuse, reviewer, because these melodies aren’t mine. They’re canonblade’s. The drop is so weird; this is my first song of many made on FL studio mobile, the program I use today, instead of GarbageBand. Whoops, I forgot to put reverb and use Param EQ on every single instrument. Whoops, my basses in the drop, since this was meant to be a dubstep song, I spammed all the effects I could and it sounds awful. Whoops, forgot to make a good outro. It’s all just... bad.

[Orchestral Experiment]

The review on this song, “Simple and Tasty”, partially inspired my modern music. It seems my strength is simple music, not relying on many effects to sound cool or anything, just nice and catchy for the masses. The descriptions on all my songs are removed and replaced with nonsense; I will explain in my final review on this account.

When the thumbnail is the best part of a song and it isn’t even original, there’s a problem. This is garbage, and I didn’t think it was until just a few months ago but it’s so unoriginal and plays it so safe that it’s insulting to the creator to even listen to.

[The Funky Family]

I’m gonna rate this higher because it actually has a pretty decent beat to it. It does sound super superficial and like no bass but it’s still better than its predecessor. This song is entirely made in response to a review by TaintedLogic on the original, to which he never reviewed this one. In fact, nobody ever did. I find it really strange that all my songs on this account have hundreds of listens and it all happened a year after I stopped uploading. Anyways, probably my best song from the GarbageBand era.

[Entering the Haunted Mansion]

This song of mine is infamous in my brain for never getting a review or votes or anything. It’s pretty bad, mainly because I was and still am bad at cinematic music. The drop with the guitars sounds terrible until it ends, then it sounds bad but not as bad. The sound fx are bad; this song is the reason why I avoid using SFX as much as possible, even now. The melody being passed between many instruments, I, at the time, thought was impressive. Turns out that’s the case in almost every song ever, but they did it far better. The last section of the track is the best, but it doesn’t make up for the awfulness of the other parts.

[DESTRXY]

Your best song. Consider it a higher 4 stars than minor trance.

Mixing is the worst part of this song, some things feel too loud but the second drop is far too quiet. I also struggle with mixing even to this day, which is part of the reason I stepped away from complex dubstep back in early 2019 and moved toward more emotional music with simpler instruments. The buildups could have been way better with the rising pitch on not the main medley but on a background instrument, such as the constant chords. The first drop is ok, not much to say there besides nice variety of instruments. Outro is your best outro IMO.
Nice work,
4/5

[- The Minor Trance -]

This is ironically better than Reality in my opinion. The mixing is on par; the main flaw with the song is that the drop doesn’t really happen until halfway through the song. Also it ends suddenly. Other than that, catchy melodies and beats are decent. Good job
4/5

[ReAlitY]

Shows potential. Surprised to find something like this just laying around in the audio portal; I’m the only person on Earth who just randomly browses it and reviews songs it seems. Welp, here goes.

Like the predrop. The melodies and mixing is pretty darn good and catchy. It lasts a little too long though. The buildup and drop are where the song starts to falter; as I stated before, the dubstep, particularly the frequency of the bass there and rhythms could use some improvement, but it doesn’t sound bad by any means. He beat gets some love there which I like. After the drop, it feels a little... underwhelming, as does the mildly unoriginal ending. Good work, I bet you’re proud of this one but here’s my attempt at an objective review, longest one I’ve ever written.
3.5/5

[Sonic Blaster (Remix)]

Yeah, I’d replace the original song in a certain GD level if I had the choice. It’s just better with better beats and instruments

[Dopamine]

But how do you even produce your...... audio?
